The LR-20-M is a 20 GHz bandwidth optical receiver module designed for RF over fiber, antenna remoting, and broadband RF transmission applications using single mode optical.

The LR-20-M utilizes a high input power, wide bandwidth, low distortion PIN photodiode detector that provides optical to RF conversion out to the frequency range beyond 20 GHz. This compact receiver module can provide users with status monitoring through the use of an on-board processor that communicates to a host computer over an RS-232 I/O interface. The I/O parameters include receiving optical power, temperature and alarm status. When the LR-20-M RF over fiber receiver module is linked with the LT-20-M RF over fiber transmitter module, the combination provides and excellent choice for ultra-wideband RF to fiber conversion applications.
